.WASuIKGIos, February l0.-There
has been much talk to-day among menu
bers Of Congress regarding the fraes he
tween Hon. Eustace Gibson anu Mr..
Rogers, Of Arkansas, yesterday In the
House. Various reports have been flying
about to-day, some to the effect that there
is likely TO Ire meeting between the two
Congresmen and that the matter may yet
end in bloodshel. Mr.. Gibson said 10 the
REGISTER correspondent to-day that - far
M he is concerned there will bc nothing Of
the kind. The report, in the New York
World and several other papers 10 the
effect that Gibson Was armed yes
terlay was totally false. Mr.. Rog-
ers' attack on Mr. GibSon was
uncalled for, and was Of very
personal character. Mr.. Gibson rcsented
II in language plain aud justiliable, and
now says that he will pay no further at,en-
tiou to the matter. The friends Of both
gentlemen were apprehensiyo to-day that
there would be personal encounter
between them. In speaking of the matter
this evening, Mr.. Gibson said "rhe charge
